Ill be one to thank Joe for his efforts he puts in (That he really doesn't have to do)for this site and Jukebox page with creating performers page and additions- modifications and everything else associated to make for a successful PSR site for ALL !!!!

And I'll raise a toast to the New Year as well that Joe and all of us continue to enjoy our passion for music and the joy it brings us and others. Joe, we couldn't do it without you and your many "Santa's Helpers"! HO, HO, HO!

I as well cannot begin to express how much I have gained from this forum and the people who create the wonderful supportive atmosphere that exists.Thanks Joe for all you do to make it happen and all the best for the season!Ed B

While in Washington my wife and I drove down to Richmond and spent the day with Joe and his wife. Not only is his website the best of the best but so too is Joe. We were welcomed like family, fed great food, shown his website operation, and treated like royalty. We don't get to the east coast often but will always try to visit Joe when we do.

So, once again Joe - thanks for all the long hours and hard work you do to keep all of us happy.

JOE, I'd like to give you a big THANK YOU for organizing & running one of the best Forums on the internet! I've been a member for 8 yrs. & before that - a "lurker" for 3 yrs! (trying to learn the computer!) Although the Forum is aptly named, it is more than a Tutorial. It is well organized gathering place supervised by a kind, fair & generous man who has helped us solve problems, make friends and enjoy music even more! Thank you for all your time, money & effort that you've put into The PSR Tutorial Forum!

There are times when coping with all the vagaries of computers, different browsers, the ongoing changes to html and css and media formats, web and database software, daily attacks on the server and the web site, and, of course, regular updates to site pages that things can seem a bit overwhelming. At those times, like now, it is certainly nice to see a thread like this one. Thank you all for your kind words. They certainly are appreciated!

Somehow I survived 5.5 struggling years of learning, playing, and entertaining without even one other keyboard person or entertainer to shoptalk with. Then this year I discovered your forum, and it been a wonderful, helpful, and enriching experience that my adjectives aren't adequate to describe. YOU have made this blessing possible for me, and you have blessed folks all over the world...WOW!

Joe W,

And you say you are retired. Sounds like a second career! Thank you Joe for all that you do. And we should thank the Moderators too for all the time THEY give!

To everyone reading this thread who hasn't done so already... buy a CD, DVD, or download of style files or make a donation to help support this website. Small price to pay for such a hugh return.

You have a unique, wonderful forum here and I join the crowd of those who are grateful for your dedication & talent to keep it going with high quaility and every improving content. I've been here for a little over 3 years I think -the moderators and members are very helpful & the members are wonderful, friendly people too.THanks so much and a very Merry Christmas to you & your family

Hello from Canada; A special thanks to you Joe, not only for the wonderful website that has made our keyboarding much more fun and satisfying, but also for the opportunity to get to know wonderful people from all over the world, people who go our to their way to help with problems, and make our struggles less daunting. Some time ago, there was an article in USA Today, about what makes happy people happy, and there were three things. One of them was helping others. We have so many of them on this site , and it makes every day fun.To everyone who reads the Forum, very best wishes for a wonderful 2012 of great playing. There is a very good thought for people of our age group.... "You don't quit playing when you're old...... you get old when you quit playing". Thanks to you Joe, we're all playing our hearts out, and it's simply wonderful

It's Christmas Eve here in Virginia. Our son, Joe, is in from Texas, I'll shortly be picking up our daughter Rebecca from the train station, daughter Heidi will be arriving with her family this afternoon, and Cindy and the girls will be here spending the night. So, we will have a houseful with 5 (very young) grand kids having a ball tomorrow morning enjoying all of their Christmas gifts! I doubt I will even be able to get near my computer! So, may I take this opportunity to wish all our friends and visitors a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year. May you all continue to enjoy creating your own special music throughout the coming year.

Hi JoeI am a little late in joining this thread, but I would also like to add my thanks for the great job that you do - which is just huge - in creating and running this wonderful website - I think everyone is so full of admiration for you.

With best wishesSusie

THANK YOU JOE - for all the hard work you've put into the PSR TUTORIAL & the expense of keeping it up. It is a great outlet for musicians to share their music and to learn more about the complexities of playing these keyboards! I've been a member for more than 12 yrs. & formed friendships with members all around the world thru PSR!

I joined the forum just two years ago ...Joe you are the inspiration for us all thru the forum. I would not be anywhere close to where I am today playing gigs had it not been for the support of so many friends on the forum.......you have provided the information highway for learning and excelling sith the keyboardI wish you and your family a blessed Christmas and New Year....thank you doesn't say enough Bob

Kudos Joe! you have been doing a great job. Though i joined this forum only after buying Yamaha psr s 970, the amount of inputs i got from this forum is enormous. I took quick tips of setting the keyboard, picked up styles voices, ppfs links and above all valuable guide lines from senior members. Today in my home town people approach me for guiding them to set up their Yamaha psr boards. A big thanks to JOE for your continued efforts in making Yamaha keyboards more and more Yammy!
